I went up Gertrude's Nose!

Hey Y'all,
During Memorial weekend I went hiking up Gertrude's Nose in Minnewaska State Park upstate. It was a six mile hike with an elevation gain of about 600 feet. The name comes from a woman named Gertrude Bruyn who received land from a 1682 deed (I wonder how she got that?-inside joke!). We also passed through Millbrook Mt and Patterson's Pellet which were beautiful.

It was a great hike, I love being active and trust me this hike made me work. It was a great work out, targeted areas were the glutes and legs.

                                      

I made it up the mountain with legs burning and feet hurting combined with a huge surge of endorphin's. I love feeling that threshold between exhaustion and energy, there is truly nothing like it. There was even a little friendly competition among the guide and fellow climbers.

This event was booked through Discover Outdoor. They offer several excursions with detailed information providing great escapes from the busy City.
